The surname McGeough or McGough is of Irish origin and can be traced back to ancient Gaelic times. It is a patronymic surname, meaning it is derived from the name of an ancestor, usually the father or grandfather. In this case, it is derived from the Gaelic name "Mac Eochaidh," which translates to "son of Eochaidh." The name Eochaidh itself is of great significance in Irish history and mythology, as it was the name of several legendary figures and kings. The prefix "Mac" means "son of," and when combined with Eochaidh, it creates the surname McGeough or McGough. The McGeough or McGough family can be found mainly in the counties of Monaghan and Fermanagh in Northern Ireland. They were traditionally associated with the ruling families of these areas and held positions of power and influence. During the period of British colonization in Ireland, many Irish families faced oppression and forced displacement. The McGeough or McGough family, like many others, suffered from this turbulent time in history. However, they managed to maintain their identity and heritage, passing their ancestral name down through the generations. Today, the McGeough or McGough surname is still found in Ireland and other parts of the world, carried by descendants of the ancient Gaelic clans. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Irish people.
